Arpy Brown returns to Toy Tonics with his 3rd EP ‘U Never Listen’ on the German powerhouse dance label. Having studied music at Goldsmiths in London, Robin Braum aka Arpy Brown is known for exploring the more playful side of house music and those genres around it, rich in instrumentation and variation. More performative than ever, ‘U Never Listen’ comes full of vocals, performed instruments, lively arpeggios, no samples, but racked with hooks. Having played and sung in bands all of his teenage years, Robin is picking up singing again on this record on title track ‘U Never Listen’ and ‘Maybe’. ‘Release Me’ features beautiful, multilayered vocals by Allysha Joy, known for her solo work on labels like Gondwana and First Word but also for being the voice of Australian cult outfit 30/70. It’s not the first time the two collaborate after Arpy Brown’s remix of 30/70’s ‘Tempted’ on Rhythm Section reached millions of plays across the world. The EP is also a product of Robin’s deep friendship with Arpy Brown founding member Avi Barath who co-wrote many of the songs.

Part of the core Toy Tonics crew alongside Barbara Boeing, Cody Currie, Kapote, Sam Ruffillo and Gee Lane (whose debut EP just dropped and was co-written and co-produced by Robin), Arpy Brown has been touring across Europe this year and a full Australia tour is lined up around the EP. ‘U Never Listen’ comes fresh off the heels of his collab EP ‘Into You’ with Amy Dabbs on Aus Music. Generally taking a communal approach to music, Robin has been hosting intimate nights with DJs from far across the electronic music ecosystem since 2019. Guest sets from the likes of Seb Wildblood, Jitwam, Rebecca Vasmant, Fouk, Amy Dabbs, Hidden Spheres, Will Saul and some of the scene's brightest new talents have made for some unmissable parties in London's and Berlin's cosiest venues. In line with this ethos, he also co-ran artist collective and record label Squareglass - a proudly established home for new artists coming out of South London.

Arpy Brown's work has seen regular support on radio stations worldwide incl. BBC Radio 1 and 6 by the likes of The Blessed Madonna, Sarah Story, Jamz Supernova and Danny Howard. His last Toy Tonics EP 'Nogueira' saw him on the cover of Spotify's Fresh Finds.

Nightlife In NYC EP
Cat - XPRESS73
Label - The Disco Express
Format - Digital
Release Date - Friday 12th June
Bandcamp - https://ethicaldrift.bandcamp.com/album/nightlife-in-nyc-ep

New York disco punk coming in hot! Born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida we're delighted to welcome artist Jonathan Tyler Paul aka Ethical Drift aboard The Disco Express.

Inspired by Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem, Ethical Drift fuses jazz with modern disco, punk and house vibes. Pushing the limits of live and recorded music, Ethical Drift is known for high energy, eclectic performances that move the bounds of Indie Disco and House Music.

"I always loved Indie bands that rode the line of Disco, House, or Jazz adjacent. I’m trying to reflect that with a certain style that is both preppy and punk tinged across the entire Ethical Drift entity." he says with a cheeky grin.
____________

The incredibly unique Nightlife In NYC EP is a mark of Ethical Drift's quality. Its brilliantly irreverent attitude and genre-bending crossover of styles are a testament to his creativity as a bourgeoning artist.

Sowing together the EP is Parisian house producer Larry G. His piano heavy bass bouncing remix is the perfect union of New York Indie Disco and French Touch.
____________

A fashion model for the likes of Vogue Italy, Alexander Wang and many more, JP has also been integral to bands like Basic Vacation who released on Capitol Records and Troy Carter’s Atom Factory Music. A former member of The Nectars, JP was part of two fiery European tours that became fabled in the NYC third-wave post punk scene.
